Half Naked

#VocalNPM

By Art CreepsPublished 7 years ago 2 min read

I only saw part of you

You Only showed what you wanted to

No matter what I did

You kept the inner you hid

Half naked

I only saw half of you

I hope I haven't seen the last of you

I traveled and explored you many times, but never found your capital.

Always a constant battle.

And though I knew I'd never win

Til the end I never gave in

Because you fight

For what you know is right

Even if the other side , is consumed with lies

And drowned by the falsehood of their own light.

And I apologize

For not being that

Surprise you waited for

So many other good memories though

I wish we could've created more

I don't make promises

But I promise you you should have waited a little more

It's tough

And nothing is forever and nothing is for sure

But even though I never saw it or felt it

I still loved you to the core

I searched for your soul a million times

But all I could see was the brown in your eyes

Looking deeper

I saw the scared child in you

And I realized I could never leave her

Even if I never reach her

And once in a dream there was death when you left

I saw myself asking the reaper, please keep her.

I only wanted you, to see all of you

Your body held my attention

Your laugh always cut the tension

We mixed until suspension

And fell back to earth like a failed mission

One foot in the door

To keep it from closing.

One foot out, turned away forever knowing

I should run. But I won't.

I will stay

And figure out the mystery of you

How could you accept my love

Then neglect my love

I never changed

But I guess that's why you did

I guess that's why you were so close to freeing your inner self but then you hid.

I only saw half of you

I was more than satisfied until I realized your smiles were translucent

There was a frown, behind them which made our entire time lies

And I apologize

For not being that

Surprise you waited for

So many other good memories though

I wish we could've created more

I don't make promises

But I promise you you should have waited a little more

It's tough

And nothing is forever and nothing is for sure

But even though I never saw it or felt it

I still loved you to the core

Half naked

I only saw half of you

I hope I haven't seen the last of you

I'd cross the universe

Maybe you were saving her for the next

And he would get to see the rest

I hope he appreciates you

But no matter what you will one day confess I was the best

Meant to be

Maybe not,

But that's what made me want this more

Knowing that we possibly cheated fate

Knowing that I possibly stole you from your soul mate
